SecondlY, Mr. President, a story appeared
more recently charging that the
U.S. labor attache in Rome had brought
pressure to bear on the Italian Government
to induce It to compel the striking
crew members of Cuba-bound Italian
ships to return to work. The State Department
denied this report promptly,
categorically, and in considerable detail.
I rejoice that there was no truth to this
report and I congratulate the State Department
on its Immediate effort to
clarify the situation.
I ask unanimous consent that that
letter may also be printed in the
There being no objection, the letter
was ordered to be printed In the RECORD,
as follows:
Washington, D.C., September 25,1962.
Hon. KENNETH B. KEATING,
U.S. Senate.
DEAR SENATOR KEATING: I understand that
you are anxious to learn the circumstances
behind the front-page story In the WashIngton
Dally News ot Friday, September 21,
1962, which quotes the National Maritime
Union as alleging that our labor attache
In Rome had brought pressure tc bear on
the Italian Government to Induce It to compel
the striking crew members o! two Cubabound
Italian ships to return to work.
I am happy to be able to supply a full
report. Our Embassy at Rome has denied
the allegation and Informed the press that
It was "obviously nonsense." A senior official
pointed out that under Italian law It
Marine has categorically dented to the Embassy
that the Italian Government, for Its
part, had In any way attempted to Induce
the striking crew members of the two ships
to continue the voyage. The Ministry offichu
pointed out that under Italian law It
was administratively Impossible to force seamen
to sail on a merchant ship, since hiring
and firing o! seamen Is a matter strictly
between the seamen, their unions, and the
The only Involvement of the labor attach6
was to Inquire o! an official o! the
leading Italian free labor union: which is not
a party to the dispute, what was happenIng
In the affair o! the two ships, which
had been reported In the Italian press. He
did not In any way attempt to persuade the
Italian Government to force Italian seamen
to said the ships. On the contrary,
the Embassy had occasion earller
to point out to a representative o! the company
which operates one o! the ships that
any cargoes, even nonmlll tary ones such as
that Involved In this case, were o! assistance
to the Soviet-run Castro regime.
You may also be Interested to hear that
on September 9 , the Under Secretary of
the Italian Ministry ot Merchant Marine
Issued a strong public statement that supplying
strategic SOviet material to the Commuul.
st d.lctatorlal regime In Cuba would be
In contempt o! tbe obligations o! Atlantic
SG!t!larlty and In violation ot It&ly'a adherence
tv ~TO. The statement also
warned that the Italian Government would
take nece.ary act!OD aplnet anyone wbo
'f'lolated tbe dutlee or the alliance in COllusion
with the eDemy.
I hope this Information will be o! lntereat
to you.
Sincerely yours,
Assistant Secretary.
Mr. MANSFIELD. Mr. President, on
page 20991, the last column of the
RECORD for October 4, the statement as
contained by me relative to what I said
on the proposed Knowles Dam, in referring
to the Cabinet Gorge and the Noxon
Dams which were built in Montana,
Every single bit of power generated In
Montana goes out of the State of Montana.
The RECORD should read:
Every single hit o! power generated In
Montana at the Cabinet Gorge and Noxon
Dams goes out o! the State o! Montana.
I ask unanimous consent that this correction
be made in the permanent
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The
correction will be made, as indicated.
Mr. MANSFIELD. Mr. President, as
long as I am speaking about the proposed
Knowles Dam, I wish to state that
in addition to my support of a multipurpose
dam, on the same basis as the
Hungry Horse Dam which was built in
the Flathead country, that the following
have been the stipulations which my colleague,
the present presiding officer of
the Senate and I have laid down as basis
for our supnort of any Federal multipurpose
project in the State of Montana.
As I stated on Thursday last in the debate
on the proposed Knowles Dam:
First. If the Senate and the House
eventually authorize a proposal, it is the
intention of my distinguished colleague
and myself, as well as the Representative
of the Western District of Montana in
which the project is located, to see to it
that a preferential proportion of the
power generated in western Montana is
kept in western Montana for the benefit
of the people of the whole State. I wish
to reiterate what I said then and to emphasize
my position in this respect as
strongly as I know how.
Second. The project must be feasible-!
think it is feasible, but authorization
of Knowles will call for more detailed
planning and any doubt which may
exist as to its feasibility will, I am sw·e,
be then removed.
Third. People in the area directly
affected must be in favor of the proposal.
Fourth. The present level of Flathead
Lake must be maintained and nothing
must be done to change the position of
the inlet at Flathead Lake.
Fifth. The rights of the Indians must
be protected and adequate compensation
given for any rights or any loss
which they may incur.
Mr. President, I repeat, this has been
my position and the position of my colleague
!Mr. METCALFl, and our colleague
in the House, Representative· OLsn on
any Federal multipurpose project in my
State and Will continue to be our Pa------------ Aug. 22,1962

On request of Mr. MANsFIELD, and by
unanimous consent, the call of the Legislative
Calendar, under the rule, was dispensed
Mr. JOHNSTON. Mr. President, before
this cw-rent session of Congress is
adjow-ned, I want to call the attention
of my colleagues to the basL-, laid in the
postal rate and pay bill, H.R. 7927, for
obtaining a balanced postal budget by
1965. I shall ask to include in the CoNGRESSIONAL
RECORD a Statement concerning
this matter which should be heartening
to every Member of Congress.
As Senators will see from this statement,
once the postal rate bill has run
its course, the revenues and expenditw·es
of our great Post Office Department will
be in balance. It is my sincere hope
that we shall be able to keep it in balance
for many years to come.
It seems to me that, with the proper
use of mode1-n systems, we should be
able to develop the efficiency necessary
to increase volume and at the same time
reduce unit costs. Under a Democratic
Postmaster General, we have already
made significant strides in the direction
of increased efficiency and elimination of
frills. I believe that studies to be commenced
next year on mail classification,
postal costs, and mechanization will go
a long way-toward attaining a balanced
postal budget, and will keep it so in the
I ask unanimous consent to have the
statement previously referred to printed
in the RECORD at this point.
There being no objection, the statement
was ordered to be printed in the
RECORD, as follows:
H.R. 7927, as amended In the Senate, provides
rate increases In excess of those approved
by the House committee in September
1961. The Senate version of this measure
provides a firm basis for achieving a balanced
postal budget by 1965. Recognizing,
of course, that volume and expense will increase;
nevertheless, as volume increases, so
wlll revenues. Postal efficiency should permit
volume Increases at lower unit costs.

• Sec. 1007 or H.R. 7927 calls tor the absorption

Post Office of $363 million Is adjusted by lipproximately

This absorption would be less than 2
percent of a. $5 billion postal budget. Such
would appear reasonable in light of the Postmaster
General's record to date. and thC'
statement by the Deputy Postmaster General
in 1961 that, given time and authority.
the Post Office Department could SA\'C $300
million annually.
Mr. KEATING. Mr. President. some
time ago, there was discussion on the
Senate floor with regard to two incidents
reported in the press. The first involved
an article which appeared early in September
by the reporters Robert s. Allen
and Paul Scott. The article charged
the eXistence of a note from Khrushchev
to President Kennedy the weekend before
the 1961 ill-fated Cuban invasion, a note
threatening Soviet retaliation in West
Berlin if the United States used American
forces a.gainst Cuba.
At the time of that discussion I sLated
that I had asked the Department of State
for clarification of the extent to which
there was a connection between Berlin
and Cuba and, specifically, to respond to
the inquiry whether there was such a
note from Mr. Khrushchev to President
I said that I would place in the RECORD
later the reply from the Department of
State. The Department of State has replied.
It has denied the existence of
such a written communication prior to
the Bay of Pigs invasion. I ask unanimous
consent to have that letter printed
in the RECORD at this point.
There being no objection, the leiter
was ordered to be printed in the RECORD,
as follows :
Hon. KENNETH B. KEATING,
U.S. Senate.
DEAR SENATOR KEATING: This letter is In
further reply to the telephone Inquiry from
your office this past week as to whether a
letter was received by the U.S. Government
from Chairman Khrushchev immediately
prior to the events at the Bay of Pigs In
April1961, wherein Khrushchev stated, in the
words of your secretary, the Berlin Issue will
be raised if Cuba is invaded. I am Informed
that no such letter was received on the eve
of those events.
Mr. KEATING. Mr. President, nevertheless,
I am assured by the newsmen
concerned, who are known as wellinformed
and responsible observer1>-, that
in its basic essentials their original
charge was true and that such a message
in some form or other was conveyed to
the President prior to the fateful
decision to withdraw full U.S. support
from the invasion.

What type of moves or abilities are you hoping for?
How about a dark move that's OVER 100 DAMAGE? Seriously, it still doesn't have one.
Also, I made this up, it's called "Hoarder" Basically it can hold two items at once. You might think that's broken, but so is Contrary. That's why they made Perversity pretty hard to find.

A Spiritual Journey
My parents "had to get married" very young due to my approaching birth then someone remove the skin from the end of my penis for religious reasons soon after I was born. At six weeks I was blessed and given my name, as I grew I was taught that I was "Chosen" by god and to be prejudice towards others that were not "chosen", I was told to not hang out with people that were not Mormons (unless I was trying to convert them). I was taught words like "bum fucker", "fag", spick, and "half bread". I was taught that black people were being punished for not taking Jesus' side in an argument in heaven. I was told the world was coming to an end in my life time and I needed to prepare for "the second coming of Jesus". I was surrounded by Mormons and Mormon thinking. When I was 6 years old, right after my second brother was born my Mother and Father were married in a Mormon Temple in Logan Utah and me and my two brothers were sealed to my parents at that time. The next 4 kids were "Born under the Covenant" and the boys were circumcised. I was baptized at the age of eight by my father who soon after became unworthy and was not able to baptize my siblings.
While growing up my mother went to church on and off for a few years but, my father worked on Sundays so he did not attend church services very often. We kids were forced to go to church where the other kids and my teachers would tell me my parents were going to hell because my dad worked on Sundays and my mother and father did not come to church or pay their 10%. For a short time we tried to have "family night" (like all good Mormon families) but, my father would always be asleep or coaching little league, My mother and I tried to read the bible to my brothers a few times during "family night" and that is when I started to think and question the bible and or god, I think I was about seven at the time. I was afraid to tell anyone about my thinking and wondered if I was going to hell because of my thoughts. The girls in "The Mormon Church" were told not to date me unless I was planning to go on a mission for the Mormon Church and I was not going. My mother and father wore the magic underwear and me and my wife to be would not be sleeping in magic underwear.
My family 6 generations back are Mormons. My mother is only half Mormon; my father is all "Jack Mormon". So, 3 of 4 of my grandparents were of Mormon descent, my family were Mormon Pioneers and for 3 generations polygamist. My grandparents were not "active" in any Church but; the 3 sets of Mormon grate-grandparents were very active in church activities and paid their 10% to the LDS Church. My father's mother and father were inactive Mormons as was my mother's mother. My mother's father was from Nebraska and not Mormon. All four of my Grandparent were full blown alcoholics or had drinking problems sometime during their lives. They were "Great Spirits" if you will.
When I went to church the other kids, my Sunday school and Seminary teachers would say that my parents were going to hell because they did not go to church or pay their tithing. Sometimes I told my mom I went to church when I did not because church made me feel bad about my family and church is was stupid.
I thought I was going to hell for thinking about sex and I thought God was watching me masturbate so I tried to stop. I was exposed to very heavy guilt that was unnecessary for children to go through. When I was 12 years old the bishop ask; me if I masturbate (WTF) I don't know what I said, but I was shocked. When I was about 13 a janitor at "the church" followed me up a ladder in the church gym and grabbed my junk.
I was a Mormon Cub Scout a Webelos and then a Boy Scout (for only a couple weeks) I passed the sacrament when I was twelve. I went to "seminary" in 9th 10th and 11th grades because it was an easy class and all the girls were in seminary. Then in 11th grade in March of 1976 my son's mother and I ran away to California for a few weeks. In 1977 I married that same girl and had a son that we had circumcised then when he was 6 weeks old in the Mormon Church he was blessed. I believed in god but did not go to church since I was about 14 years old. I believed in an afterlife but, not like the Mormons do. I was baptized at the age of eight and 10 years later I was a blasphemer, married with a son. We had him circumcised and blessed so other kids would not make fun of him in the locker room.
Sometime around 1983 I stopped believing in a personal god (most days) but, was afraid to say so out loud in case there was a god for a few more years. If there was a god I hated him who wants to be in heaven wile your friends and family are burning in hell. God loves you but, he will burn you forever. You heard it before sounds like my dad.
I have tried many "spiritual paths" over the last 30 years including Bill W.'s own form of "spirituality" (faith healing) I faked it but I never made it. I have prayed in all the big famous churches in Manhattan including St Peters. Here are a few of the spiritual quests I have been on; Mormonism, Baptist, Catholic, Buda, Hinduism, Zen, Mediation, Yoga, Unitarian, Agnostic, ad infinitum.
I have come to the conclusion that man made god.
I have prayed thousands of times for god's help for me and/or my son. I have prayed alone and in groups, I prayed with church groups, Zen groups, 12 Step groups and alone even from the tops of mountains. When I was a boy I asked God to make my father stop beating my mother and the rest of our family including me. When I was a young adult God would not remove my father's mental illness and he would not stop the judge from giving my son back to his mother.
Religion hurt me and my son and if you don't believe that just look at me it I am a nut case.
A much smarter man than I has said; "Many of my fellow atheists consider all talk of "spirituality" or "mysticism" to be synonymous with mental illness, conscious fraud, or self-deception."
The dream is over: God does not answer my payers, and god does not answer your prayers.
I must believe in me. The dream is over. .God is a concept: http://youtu.be/rq6ulGCounc
I am a polyatheist there are millions if not billions of gods I do not believe in. I believe an Atheist loves his fellow man not some fake god. I believe a hospital should be built instead of a church.
I think that most atheists are strong atheists. There is a huge stigma surrounding atheism, so it's kinda like jumping into a cold swimming pool. You have to dip your toes in a engulf yourself slowly, well, you don't have to, but it certainly feels that way for most I would say.
Maybe I am projecting my own view a bit too much, but that's how it was for me. If you live in America especially, declaring yourself an atheist is something the vast majority of people will not see favorably. However, for me as I furthers my knowledge in science, philosophy and history I began to see it's just simply foolish to follow any organized religion. The next step was looking at the infinite regress of a creation theory of any kind.
I do consider myself a very staunch atheist, however, with this clim we can not deal in absoultes, because we simply can not make those claims with any degree of intellectual honesty. I am passionate about the truth, and science is the best method available for discovering and explaining truths. So while I will never make the claim there absolutely is no God, it is possible. I don't believe it's possible, it simply is. We can make some pretty strong claims against creation because we can figure that the probability of creation is very very low. We can not disprove it is possible, but we can come very close to ruling it out. In fact the probability is so very low, that it just becomes mostly implausible.
My point is, I think it's all about confidence in what you're claiming. I became a strong atheist by researching both sides and educating myself as much as possible. As the creation theory became less and less plausible, I became a "stronger" atheist. The problem is the massive social stigma in my opinion. We have made great strides in reducing that stigma, and I believe we will eventually eliminate it. The sooner the better in my opinion as I actually see religion as toxic to our society in so many different ways. We will all be better off when we can all get away from this archaic nonsense.
I guess for me it was when i started studying history and I realized the christians didnt always look like good guys. I was agnostic in like 5th grade and then a depressed but strong atheist by the time i got to high school
What made me become a "Strong Atheist"? - The constant hammering of being told to have respect for those who wouldn't even dream of granting the same to me. My skin has become thinner not thicker over the years and I now lash out at everyone who oversteps that line without exception, friend or foe.
I grew up in a Baptist household, but I was never convinced from the start. My father was a preacher & he use to simulate the act of catching the holy ghost which looked like he had a seizure moment which was bullshit. My mother raised me as a single parent & she was never was big on religion. She use to tell me to choose if I wanted to believe in a god or gods or not. My grandmother forced me as a child to be baptized & once she realized that I never went to church or paid my church dues I ask her to stop paying them for me to discontinue being associated with her church. What makes me a strong atheist in which I also trust that all atheist are strong atheist is the fact that I have been & will always be an empirical individual who uses deductive reasoning & the scientific method to explain any and everything that I had questions about. I personally feel religion should only be referenced as the history of explaining how primitive men & women thought processes were during the bronze age of man used to explain phenomenon that they could not explain until the tool of science freed us with the power of knowledge using empirical evidence. If it was up to me if humans did not use the practice of using the scientific method & common sense in their daily lives. There should be penalties & punishment for using any religion to live by before the facts of empirical evidence.
Religions make hating a virtue. The evil people are clearly defined, god hates them and so should you. Doing what I can to help to eliminate the needless hatred and the needless suffering engendered by religious myths is my gift to the future. Just like the people in the past payed it forward so I can have what I have today I will do the same for my descendents. We seem to have gained a large amount of ground in a short amount of time.

The idea and circuit came from this Make weekend project. Why don't you pay them a visit?
Step 1: Parts and Tools
But for those of you who like it in text, here it is:
Helping Hands (Optional)
Soldering Iron
A Blue or White LED (Other colors are fine, too)
2N3904 Transistor or equivalent
1k Resistor (Brown-Black-Red)
Toroid Bead
Thin wire, two colors (magnet wire works)
You can get the toroid and transistor from a dead CFL; the transistor is usually labeled 13002.
Also, if you use a 2N4401 or BC337 transistor, your LED will be brighter because they can handle more amps.
this is my joule thief
P.S. Does it really reduce amperage ?
Cause im thinking of using it as a boost to run a motor
5 white leds, powering on a single AA battery.
Same here, I would like help with this issue if you have solved it.
I tried a GET5172 ( = NTE123A ) and the LED is the brightest yet. It consumed .1V from the single battery in 24 hours.
2N4401 lights better than a 3904
2N2222A doesn't light at all ? ? ?
The critical part of the winding the toroid instructions are:
Keep winding the two strands through the toroid until you have about 11 turns
We now have two pairs of wires facing opposite directions.
Take one wire from each pair ensuring they are a different color and solder this
"crossover pair" together. This goes to the positive of the battery.
None of these transistors can handle "amps" they are all probably in the 200 mA range. A 2N3904 is listed as 200 mA typical EC current I believe. But I'm sure most people will understand what you're saying. The other point is that while the transistor can push 200mA if 200mA went through the LED it would burn up in a very short time. Most of these LEDs are rated for around 20-30mA that's about one tenth of the rated current handling capacity of the transistor.
um.. forgive me, i just a beginner
This bike flasher uses a single transistor to flash one or two white LEDs from a single cell. And it uses a fridge magnet for the core of the transformer. This means anyone can build it with common components.
Cut a small fridge magnet into four pieces and make sure each piece sits the same way on the previous piece. The size of the pieces do not matter. 1.5cm x 1.5cm works well. Now wind 30 turns and then another 30 turns. Build the first circuit and connect the wires. If the circuit does not work, swap the feedback wires.
Now add the 10u electrolytic and 100k resistor (remove the 1k5). The circuit will now flash.
The circuit they are in has a 3-pin device labelled only "8N 11027" & a 2-pin device w/o any label.
I thought I might rebuild it with a joule thief that would work with 3 white leds off 2 D-cells. Can you help?
Can anyone tell me if I can use this circuit to light 5 leds (3V), but from a 2.4V input?
Thank you!
I have seen lots of comments asking it a transistor type BCxxx 2Nyyy ( you get my drift ) would work.
I would suggest that anyone asking can easily find out quickly by using google search.
It needs to be an NPN transistor and if you search for say hsd965
you will find it is an NPN transistor. check which pin is collector, base and emitter and connect them as explained in this instructable.
The only time you might get a problem is if the gain ( Hfe ) is very low.
The hsd965 is quite high power and it's gain is high too.
If it still doesn't work then assuming you have all the connections made you should try reversing the connections for ONE of the wires. In the picture above for example swap the 2 orange connections over.
Hope this helps.

Another E3 has come and gone, and the reverberations are still being felt throughout the gaming industry. While many of us weren't able to make it to the L.A. Convention Center, the majority of us kept our ears to the ground for any news from the show. After a steady slew of news made its way through the wire for the week, a few of the GN writers took their time to impart their feelings from the show.
Nathan Carter
I remember in the past being so excited for press conferences because of all the new games that they would show off, but in the last few years I have been more excited to see who will embarrass themselves the most and produce the newest internet memes. I don't remember much from the Microsoft conference except that it started with Halo 4... which I couldn't care less about but hey, people love it so I'm not going to complain about that. Then Microsoft thought it would be a great idea to shove down our throats that "everything is better with Kinect" and their new Microsoft music feature for Xbox live. We also got a chance to look at Microsoft Smart Glass, which looks like an impressive feature of tablets but alas, I can't afford any of that stuff so I have no interest in this.
And where do I begin with Sony. Get this... you have this brand new handheld out, you apparently have tons of games coming out for it this year... People are skeptical about the Vita since there aren't that many games available for it, and what do you do? You show a 30 second clip of Assassins Creed for the Vita and announce a Call Of Duty for the Vita with ZERO footage... not even a screen shot... and that's it. We had plenty of time for the Harry Potter magical book though! At least we got confirmation that PS1 games would be available to play on the Vita which was great as I have been waiting for this for a while but this was facepalming levels of stupid from them. Granted I am pretty excited for Beyond as I LOVED Heavy Rain and Indigo Prophecy. And finally we had Nintendo. They decided to dedicate their entire conference to the Wii-U which again... you have this NEW handheld device out there... why NOT give a little time dedicated to that?
Nathaniel Cohen
I hate E3. Maybe it's because I've never been to one, but as strictly on outsider, it's nothing but empty fluffed-up promises and clueless suits that let other clueless suits tell them to tell us what the "next big thing" is going to be. It's depressing to me and I pay as little attention to it as I can. 90% of what they show off will get cancelled, be delayed past the point of relevancy, or be mediocre directly proportional to how much hype it got as the "next big thing." Chances are the nearest UFO convention will be exactly as based in reality as E3.
Sean Colleli
What can I say? There weren't a whole lot of surprises at this year's E3, which was rather disappointing for me. Microsoft's conference was pretty much the definition of "predictable." Not that what they had on hand was bad or anything, it's just what I was expecting. SmartGlass is...intriguing, but like Kinect I'm highly skeptical about how much of its potential it will meet. Every few years Microsoft seems to introduce some buzz-worthy new technology or service, and only end up delivering half of what they promised.
Sony actually had the best show in my opinion, with standouts like The Last of Us and Beyond: Two Souls, but considering the competing press conferences were so dull, disappointing or predictable, it wasn't hard for Sony to stand out. I have to be honest, Playstation All Stars Battle Royale was kind of embarrassing, showcasing Sony's worst problem: a total lack of creativity or originality. Both the game's completely generic name and blatantly stolen premise, without a mere mention of Smash Bros, shows that Sony still has absolutely no problem shamelessly ripping something off and trying to "improve" it six ways to Sunday.
Jeremy Duff
This year's E3 was a nice change of pace from the last couple of years because it was all about the games. Sure, Nintendo focused on the Wii U, but both Sony and Microsoft were dedicated solely to software offerings. There weren't any promises based on hardware that would be out in the future. It really felt like everything that we saw was "within arm's reach".
While both of those company's had solid conferences, I really feel that Nintendo dropped the ball with their conference. It is very odd that with just a few months left until they release the Wii U, little to no details were given regarding the launch. We don't have any idea of a date, a price, or the specific launch titles being planned. Sure, there were a couple of titles touted as launching alongside the system, but those were few and far in between.

I had a wonderful experience attending this year's E3 and was able to get hands-on time with a bunch of great titles. The games that surprised me most at E3 were those that had developers and publishers breaking the mold by showcasing original and thrilling game concepts. I've included two of my picks below for games that surprised me during the hectic week of press releases and appointment-filled calendars.
The most noteworthy game revealed at E3 was
Watch Dogs
, which has been in development by Ubisoft Montreal since 2010. Watch Dogs combines the concepts of information warfare, surveillance, hacking, and city supercomputers within a open world game set in a future version of Chicago. All I could of think of during the game's videos was an awesome combination of Grand Theft Auto and the film Blade Runner.
Another game that took me by surprise was the upcoming independent release
, which is being developed by Swedish studio Might and Delight. An innovative gameplay concept and stunning texture-less visuals placed Pid at the top of my list for games to watch this year.

Prior to E3, I was so excited to see what Nintendo would show for the Wii U and the 3DS, as well as the new games Sony would put on display for the Vita this year. Sadly, there weren't too many surprises. Nintendo essentially had the show to themselves in terms of hardware. The other two companies in the big three declined to announce or showcase any next gen consoles yet, so with the bases loaded and the chance to end the game, Nintendo could have knocked the ball out of the park. Instead, they bunted. Rather, they grounded out in the ninth inning.I would have loved to see more of the Wii U's capabilities. Inventory screens and mini maps on the touch screen get the Zelda and Metroid blood in me flowing, but aside from a couple of new editions of 2011 and 2012 titles, there wasn't exactly a large roster of new games.
As far as the actual games go, I really have to be the optimist here. I agree with Jeremy, this year was about the games, and there was no shortage of them. Yes, there were very few new intellectual properties, but the ones that were present promise to be amazing. Dishonored, Beyond: Two Souls, Watchdogs, The Last of Us, and XCOM: Enemy Unknown brought their A game, and I wasn't disappointed in the sequels either. They showcased a sense of steady iteration rather than repetition, taking their franchises in new directions all across the board. Papo & Yo and The Cave are two smaller titles that I can't wait for, and I was glad to see them get the spotlight they deserved.
While there were plenty of gameplay demos to see this year, the majority of the writers thought the hardware presentations were a little disappointing. It's safe to say that next year will showcase much more in terms of consoles, so until then, it look like this generation is going to finish strong.

Gov. Lincoln Chafee signed an executive order recognizing out-of-state same sex marriages Monday, reported the Providence Journal.
RI Future broke the story Monday morning and reported Monday afternoon that at a press conference Monday afternoon, Chafee said "Let's get there ourselves. This is the home of Roger Williams. Come on, let's go."
The state General Assembly passes a law last June allowing for same sex civil union, but for many in the gay community that isn't enough.
"While this moves us closer to full marriage equality, nothing less is sufficient, and we will keep fighting," said Ray Sullivan of Marriage Equality Rhode Island, in a press release.
According to RI Future's Bob Plain, Chafee is talking to members of the General Assembly about passing marriage equality this session. While House Speaker Gordon Fox, who is gay, appears ready to support it this year, Senate President Teresa Paiva Weed will not support it.
Do you think the General Assembly should take up marriage equality this session or is the civil union passed last year enough? Vote in the poll below and leave a comment.

Weeknights with Jenny
- Jenny
Don't think I don't know how your collective minds work. You think that I am madly in love with Corn Risotto Garnished with Bacon and Anchovy Sage Leaf Bite just because MyCommunalTable instructs you to drink wine while you cook. This is just a bonus people. There is a lot of excitement that is about to happen on your stove, so please don't focus on drunk mommy!
Comfort food is one of those phrases that is as elastic as it is overused. Are we talking soft pillow comfort? That would be pudding. Fleece blanket? Maybe pot pies. But when what you need is not simply a culinary balm but a generous heap of anodyne, that's risotto. Toss in corn and bacon, and well, you've got a suite at the Wynn, massage included.
Whenever you begin risotto, you understand your commitment. You will sip wine, sure, but you are going to have to stand there, stirring and thinking, and by the time it's all through, you will have unraveled the flat tax, or at least secured some serious thoughts about the course of your own life, which may or may not feel a bit like a row boat on a large lake, floating without breeze.
Yes that's right, low amylose grains so inspire!
I understand if you don't have any homemade chicken stock on hand, and I also get that six cups is a lot to part with. But you do know that any you can give to this dish will be for the better; plus you can probably get away with just five.
Get your bacon crisped up, and then begin to boil your stock while you chop your onions. Once those are going in the pan of olive oil, do your sage and corn (I found some in the supermarket, God knows where it came from, so I am the last person to judge you if you want to use frozen. I can't speak to others. But they're not invited for dinner are they?)
From this point, once you've tossed in your rice and wine and stock, it is stir, stir, stir, ladle, stir. Stir more, ladle, sip, stir, stir. You fold the sage and corn in at the end, which will bring the starchy joy of this dish, threaded with the smoky goodness of sage, to its conclusion. Of course you do in fact want the cheese, and a sprinkle of bacon. I did not make the anchovy bites because that seemed beyond weeknight cooking to me, but if you do, whomever is eating with you will be comforted further indeed.

Yes, please! ps. non-recipe related - am a west coast fan too, but ditto about lovely DC fall mornings.
over 3 years ago Jestei
there was one nice one.
over 3 years ago mcs3000
you are too funny!

Recipe sounds great, but I'm confused: are you using fresh or canned anchovies? I live in Europe and there are so many options..

Canned or jarred.

I try to always have some jarred on hand from Italy.

I cook corn & bacon risotto several times/year. Love the idea of the sage, and will definitely add that in next time. Thank you!!! Frozen corn isn't so bad, especially if you purchase the slightly more expensive mix of white & yellow. Thanks, Jenny, for the laughs and for the sage!!!
over 3 years ago Jestei
totally agree on the mix. a nice sweet mid winter treat!!
over 3 years ago MyCommunalTable
Hey, Jenny thanks for making my recipe. I laughed out loud when I read it. I think that I will make it again, probably use frozen corn because who cares when you are drunk mommy stirring the risotto. haha
over 3 years ago Jestei
that's right: drunk mommies unite over the occasional frozen vegetable (but still will not serve store bought cookies at the bake sale)
over 3 years ago chez danisse
I see what you mean about the anchovy bites seeming beyond weeknight cooking, but they sure look good. I'd love to have someone make this entire meal for me while I sip wine and patiently watch.
over 3 years ago Jestei
me too, believe me. next time i will make them.

Amanda is a co-founder of Food52.
We made them for the photo above -- and they're delicious. Also they take no time at all but they do dirty another pan.
over 3 years ago Rhonda35
First time I ever saw anchovy bites (which had a more refined name such as "tempura sage fritters with anchovy" or something close) was in the first River Cafe book. I happened to be a houseguest and served them to my work-weary hosts along with chilled glasses of wine. I was immediately invited to move in. They are THAT good! I agree with Amanda, they really are not difficult to make, but I can also see how they could seem daunting on a weeknight. I'm wondering if a tiny bit of anchovy paste, stirred into the risotto, would give the same flavor kick?

I'm not a huge fan of sage, but this recipe and your wonderful (as always) write-up, Jenny, have me re-thinking that aversion. Thanks for another great blog piece, on what looks like such a nice dinner!! (I'm trying to figure out the flat tax, too, by the way . . . as well as the economic substance doctrine with respect to tax equity financings of partnerships and leases.) ;o)

please alert the hive when you have it mastered:)

Love Corn Risotto, but not sure I'll be able to find corn this time of year.
over 3 years ago Jestei
i don't extend this to many other veggies, but i am truly agnostic on topic of frozen corn if it is mixed up in a high fat manner
over 3 years ago
Barbara is a trusted source on General Cooking.
Hi Jenny. Thanks for finding this recipe! There's a little farmer right down the road from us and I think he still has corn--now I know what I'm making for dinner tomorrow night! (P.S. Does the incipient vegetarian consider bacon a vegetable? XO)
over 3 years ago Jestei
incipient vegetarian was cut out of this meal!!!

As the San Diego Padres look to add more pieces for the 2014 season, they may use some of their depth to acquire the guys they want. That includes players like Kyle Blanks and Jesus Guzman.
Matt Thornton signed with the New York Yankees yesterday, but the San Diego Padres were one of the many teams interested. Imagine the world if Thornton was a Padre.
The Brett Anderson for Drew Pomeranz and Chris Jensen trade is exactly the kind of move I've been exhorting the Rockies to make for years now.
The Rockies have been tied to a number of relief pitchers in trade rumors and free-agent buzz. Are any of the proposed options ones the Rockies should jump at?
The Miami Marlins are not done shopping yet, as they may be approaching a two-year deal with free agent first baseman Garrett Jones as a potential replacement for Logan Morrison.
For the second straight year I acted as the Rockies GM at the SB Nation Mock GM Winter Meetings Simulation. Here's what went down...
Kent Rosenthal is reporting that the player to be named later in the Marlon Byrd/John Buck trade with the Pirates is righthander Vic Black.
Back in July, the Angels and Dodgers were discussing a possible deal involving second baseman Howie Kendrick. Unfortunately, or fortunately, the Halos did not pull the trigger and the deal fell through, despite going right up until the July 31 date.
Seven and a half games back at the trade deadline, the Rockies did the right thing by not making a move. However, things were not always this bleak. Did the front office miss an opportunity this year by not trading for Ricky Nolasco early in July?
The final batch of rumors, as today's deadline rapidly approaches.

James Beard award winning chef whips up outstanding dishes such as Foie Gras Terrine and Gnocchi with Braised Oxtail. A must visit when you're in Birmingham.
Expensive but lovely, plenty of vegetarian choices – Don't be fooled by the name, the Hot & Hot Fish Club is NOT a seafood only restaurant. It is a restaurant of many cuisines while emphasizing fresh and local ingredients. I dined there most recently with my mother in April of 2006. We started with a pea and lemon risotto which was absolutely perfect. It had fresh split peas sprinkled throughout and a bright looking and tasting leomn oil drizzled on top. My mom had a pork chop served with a delicate corn cake patties. I had a vegetable platter with five sides from the restaurants daily selection of side dishes. All were delicious. My mother declared the pork chop to be tender and wonderfully seasoned. For dessert we ordered a strawberry shortcake and a bread pudding. The strawberry shortcake was a little dissapointing as the strawberries were not at their peak yet. They could have used a little balsalmic vinegar to bring out their flavor. The bread pudding however, was perfect. Not the soggy stodgey thing you get at so many diners but instead it was light, buttery and not over-sweet. It was sprinkled with berries that remained suspended in the pudding instead of squished at the base. We also had coffee which came out fresh, in our own french press.
One of the best parts about the Hot & Hot is the chef's counter. If you are going with only one other person, plan on sitting there. A great counter wraps around the kitchen, allowing you to see all of the activity including the creation of your own meal. A word of caution though, if you think one of the kitchen staff is cute you might want to keep it to yourself. They can hear you too!
Do plan on reservations, or at least call an hour before you go to make sure they can seat you. This is also a wonderful place for just dessert and coffee.
Finally, don't fall in love with a favorite, the menu changes often, sometimes even weekly. There is usually one vegetarian entree listed but they are always willing to make you a meal from the many sides.
User review by lzapalowski – I had a great meal here the other night. The server was very knowledgeable and gave great recommendations. The grilled fish of the day was cooked perfectly and I loved the shrimp and grits.

Educational Leadership Programs:
The Educational Administration program at
Texas State
emphasizes a 21st century approach to the study of educational administration and supervision. Courses which prepare students for educational leadership follow a natural sequence which relates the concepts, activities, and principles of an initial course to each succeeding course. The courses are field and problem-based. Students are expected to take courses in cohort groups so that lasting, supportive relationships can be developed during their tenure at the university. This program provides an opportunity for individuals to earn a Master of Education degree or a Master of Arts degree with a major in Educational Administration, with an optional degree in Instructional Leadership. Certification to be a school superintendent or principal may be earned in the Educational Administration sequence.
All faculty members are experienced public school teachers and administrators. This practical background enables the professors to demonstrate to students the manner by which ideas, techniques, and policy studies may be applied in a school setting. The faculty is actively engaged in professional organizations at state and national levels. They also serve as consultants to numerous school districts in personnel searches, facility studies, curriculum projects, staff development, and professional organization accreditation studies.
Superintendent Certification
This program prepares the student to become an effective leader of a school system. The course of study includes such topics as the role of the superintendent, interpersonal and group processes, educational leadership, school board relations, personnel administration, and supervision of the instructional program. The certification requires a minimum of 15 semester hours in addition to the principal certification. The skills and experience of each incoming student will be assessed prior to beginning course work so that a more individualized program may be prepared. The program includes a two-semester internship, which is completed in the district in which the candidate is employed.
Principal Certification
This certification is required of any public school building administrator and for most central administrative positions other than superintendent. The principal certification requires the completion of a 39 semester-hour program.
Students in the Texas State certification and degree programs are given broad academic background in the behavioral sciences. A structured, professional course sequence merges the concepts of management and leadership with those of technical education. These components are combined through a field-based approach to educational leadership and are reinforced through case studies, simulations, role playing, and group interaction. The student applies these concepts and principles during a two-semester internship required for certification.

The Witcher 2 Delayed Until May 2011by Alice O'Connor, Nov 16, 2010 7:30am PST
There's good news and there's bad news. The good news is that developer CD Projekt RED now has a specific release date in mind for The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings. The bad news is that it's May 17, 2011--some two months after the planned March 2011 launch the PC RPG sequel was said to still be on track for as recently as October.
"We've decided to move the launch date back a few weeks to afford us more time to polish the game," project lead Adam Badowski said in the announcement. "Of course, we know that players would like to get the game as soon as possible, so we hope that they will forgive us! We strongly believe that the extra time spent polishing the title will be well worth the wait." So polite, those Europeans.
More details on topics including a Collector's Edition, pre-orders, DRM and the launch will be revealed during CD Projekt's fall conference on Thursday, November 18. The shindig will be broadcast online through The Witcher's website for all to see. Hopefully the DRM will follow RED's own respectable and reasonable DRM policy.
There's still no firm ruling from RED on The Witcher 2's potential console release.

Patient Counseling -- Coping with cancer can be a daunting experience. Illness and treatment may affect family life, functioning at work or school, financial stability, planning for the future. Persons with cancer and their loved ones may experience periods of sadness or anxiety as they adjust to the ramifications of illness. Communication with family, friends or coworkers can become strained and daily responsibilities such as caring for children or managing the household may become difficult to handle while undergoing treatment. Feeling "in control" may be a challenge.
Oncology social workers are available to help those who are affected by cancer to cope with these concerns. Each provides practical assistance, individual, family and group counseling. In addition, they moderate support and educational programs and can provide referrals to community resources.

He was much like Tony Dungy in that regard. Dungy was the same coach in Tampa that Smith was in Chicago. And then Dungy took a job that had offensive coordinator Tom Moore and quarterback Peyton Manning in place.
There didn't seem to be a way out of the offensive tar pit for the Bears as long as Smith was the coach. A fifth offensive coordinator would not have been the answer.
Really, all of this was evident one year ago. Nothing has changed.
If the Bears wanted to whack Smith, they should have done it last January, when George McCaskey took out Jerry Angelo's knees. It would have been much cleaner that way — bring in a new GM and head coach in tandem and get everyone working together from the start.
But it also would have been more expensive that way. So now Emery's program gets delayed one year.
It's possible Mike McCoy or Keith Armstrong or Mike Sullivan or one of the other assistants who will interview with Emery will come to the Bears and end up with a better record than Smith. Maybe one of those coaches finally can get the offense right.
But teams once had those kinds of hopes for Tony Sparano, Eric Mangini, Pat Shurmur, Bobby Petrino, Josh McDaniels, Steve Spagnuolo and dozens of others.
Coaches like Smith are not easy to find. Someday, if not today, a lot of people around here are going to realize that.

text: We are in the thick of a bathroom remodel, and have removed a separate shower enclosure completely with the hope of adding a shower to our existing tub. The tub currently in the bathroom is a drop in style tub, and it sits at least a foot away from the wall on each side. On the end of the tub where the existing plumbing is there is a window, which will make wall mounting a shower impossible. I am hoping to find appropriate hardware to work from the existing plumbing that rests at the top of a tiled area and install an exposed shower conversion kit, but am having trouble locating the appropriate kit for my needs. I know that such a thing must exist. It will need to stand freely from where the tub fixture was placed, with an overhead shower such as would be used for a clawfoot or freestanding tub, but the mounting is on the top rather than the inside of the tub. I don't know if any of this is makin sense, but any help to send me looking in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

John Skelton will start at QB for Cardinals at Seattle
Just a week after Ken Whisenhunt stayed with rookie quarterback Ryan Lindley in a rough performance against the New York Jets, the Arizona Cardinals head coach is swapping signal callers once again. Third-year pro John Skelton will start Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks at Century Link Field.
Arizona Sports' Kyndra de St. Aubin tweeted out the news:
Whiz says Skelton will start Sunday— Kyndra de St. Aubin (@Kyndra620) December 5, 2012
Skelton hasn't played since being replaced by Lindley in the first half of a loss at Atlanta November 18. The Fordham product, who won the starting job in training camp, has started five games this season, completing 98-of-179 passes for 1,058 yards with two touchdown passes and five interceptions.
"There's a number of reasons that go into it, but John is going to start for us this week up in Seattle, and we'll go from there," Whisenhunt said.
The head coach was vague about the reasons why he's switching back to Skelton.
"Some of it has to do with Seattle -- playing up there, having played against them once already this year," he said. "There are a lot of factors, but I'm not going into each one of them."
Skelton suffered an ankle injury in the season opener against Seattle at University of Phoenix Stadium and didn't see the field again until Week 6 against Buffalo when Kevin Kolb suffered a rib injury.
Skelton started the next four games before being replaced by Lindley.
"It's another opportunity, you can't take any opportunity for granted if it comes at the beginning of the season, the end of the season, whether you're losing or when you're winning, you just have to take advantage of every opportunity you get," Skelton said after practice Wednesday.

Updated: December 1, 2012 4:23PM
One question
I watched all three debates, and my only question for all the people out there before Nov. 6 would be: Why should President Obama keep his job when 29 million people are looking for a job?
Outstanding performance
Thank you and congratulations to the Waukegan Symphony and Waukegan High School for their recent performance. It was a outstanding and a delight. Thank you to the players and to the administrators for providing that to us. We are very lucky to live in this community.
Squaring the facts
President Obama is out on the campaign trail misrepresenting the facts again in regard to Governor Romney. He claims that Romney supposedly doesn't support women. When Romney was governor of Massachusetts, his administration hired more women in higher level positions and cabinet positions than any other administration previous or since. President Obama and his message doesn't square up with the facts.
Fine job
I am so sick and tired that every other paragraph in your TOTC is about President Obama. He's doing a very fine job. The man is brilliant and he's doing a fantastic job. You need to lay off him.
Man of great words
I just want to say that your paper has one of the best writers that I've read in any paper in the area. Dan Moran is wonderful. His article about Tiny the spider at Great America and the article about the changing colors of the leaves were both great articles. He's a poet. Don't lose him. Thank you, Dan Moran.
Down the tubes
I don't think young people have much common sense. If you put the same man back in office again, this country will keep going down the tubes. With Romney, we have a chance getting back to our right morals in this country. Obama hasn't done anything for this country but put us more in debt. He wouldn't even protect the people overseas that got killed in Benghazi.
Well the seniors finally got our mini-COLA of 1.7 percent. Big hairy deal. Just wait, because Medicare is going to come along and take it away from us. I hope I'm wrong.
Doesn't matter
It really doesn't matter whether Romney or Obama wins this election because this country is heading for some really rough times.
Mission unaccomplished
President Obama is claiming mission accomplished when it comes to his dealings with terrorism and al-Qaida. Yet they're growing, strengthening and allying with the Muslim Brotherhood. They were able to attack and kill our ambassador in a nation where we supported their overthrow of their previous regime.
Happy days
There's a lot of similarities between Obama and Hoover. Obama had the Occupy Movement Encampment and Hoover had Hooverville. Hoover promised the chicken in every pot and Obama promised that better times will return. Obama's supposed lower under-employment rate included 46,000 from California that weren't employed and part-timers as fully employed. Hoover counted 6,000 men selling apples on the street as fully employed. Yep, happy days are here again.
Unfair debates
The debates are totally unfair to the elected president. He has a record for everyone to see. All his opponent has is "I will do this and that," maybe.
Desperate for votes
Desperation is Obama begging for votes and being very explicit as to where the nearest place to vote is.
Reality check
Yes, Romney is rich and successful. He's very successful in financial matters as he devastates scores of families across the country in his ever-widening quest for more riches. He doesn't care about the people he damages as long he has more money in his offshore accounts. He's not a moral person and is morally bankrupt, as are the companies he bankrupted.
Halloween costumes
For Halloween, Romney is going as Big Bird and President Obama is going as a defeated politician.
Military's choice
Anybody who has been in the military or has relatives or friends in the military would be best served to vote for Romney. Romney isn't the person who wants to diminish the America's finest. He's the person who wants the best-equipped military in the world. If it wasn't for our strong military, we wouldn't have the opportunity to be voting in a democracy today.
Young voters
This is in regard to the people under 30 that like the current president so much. I guess they're not experienced enough to know the difference between socialism and capitalism. It's too bad they don't understand. They just think he's a cool guy so they vote for him. It's a shame they think like that.
Foreign policy
President Obama has a foreign policy. He tells our ambassadors: Here's a gun, go defend yourself.
Get out and vote
Wouldn't it be nice if the silent majority, during this election time, actually gets out and votes instead of waiting until after the fact and then complaining like little babies that it's not what they wanted. Everybody get out there and vote and make a difference. Be a proud American and vote.

Poor decisions lead state into trouble
It appears Connecticut is headed for years of fiscal problems. This should come as no surprise if one has followed the decision making at the state level.
Evidence of poor decisions abound. Connecticut once had six representatives in the U.S. House; it now has five. If wise decisions had been made, we might have retained all six or even seen an increase to seven, thanks to population growth, job creation and business expansion. There has instead been very little private-sector job growth.

Cesar Hernandez pushing Chase Utley decision

10:30 AM ET 05.12 | Whether it's at this year's trade deadline or after the season, one of the most difficult decisions in franchise history is going to have to be made in the not-too-distant future. Chase Utley: stay or go? Much of that decision will be influenced by the play of the team and the play of the veteran second baseman who so far has been solid offensively and shaky at times defensively. Some of the decision will also be influenced by the play of Cesar Hernandez, the 22-year-old second baseman at triple-A Lehigh Valley. Hernandez is making the case that he is close to being ready to play in the big leagues.
And Maybe they can get someone pick up Howard, Chooch, Young, Lannan too (and pick up most of the salary)...
And since Doc is Doc - someone looking to next year will pay top dollar for him...
They could rebuild using the model they used to put the Outfield together - that's worked well...
Me thinks my Phillies like my Eagles are in for some dog years. (heavy sigh)
For Chase Utley or for Roy Halladay? Utley will retire next year, and halladay would come back next year just to say good bye to the b Phillies fans:-) :-)
Last year of his contract, declining numbers, and he will be 35 before next year. I think their front office has already made that decision.
The Cards have a second baseman at Triple A Memphis right now and he will be ready for the 14 season and won't take on a aging over price veteran.

Before the rains came, Tuesday was a fine day for golfing or jogging or working outside.
Wednesday? Probably not so much.
Late Tuesday morning, the temperature reached 61 degrees at O'Hare International Airport, two degrees above the record high of 59 for the date, set back in 1914, according to the National Weather Service.
Since temperature record keeping began in 1872, there have only been 33 days in January with temperatures above 60 degrees in the area, the weather service said.
The balmy conditions won't last. Heavy rains rolled in Tuesday afternoon, and the temperature was expected to drop rapidly Tuesday night — with the weather service predicting a mix of rain and snow for Wednesday.
Come Thursday night, the spring-like weather will likely be but a distant memory, with a low near 4 degrees, according to the weather service.
"It's definitely more of a springlike system," National Weather Service meteorologist Jamie Enderlen said of Tuesday's weather. "When the cold air comes back in, we'll come back to a more typical winter setup."
Golfers were out at Aurora's Phillips Park course Tuesday morning. And before noon Tuesday, St. Andrews Golf & Country Club in West Chicago had about 40 reservations.
